"These guys seem like a record company concoction to sell hip pop music to indie kids. i know it, best buy knows it, so they should just admit it. Knowing this, the songs still work. Commercial jingle "flathead", "chelsea dagger" and "baby fratelli" are just too much fun in an INXS kick/x way not ..."  [+]  Reply

"This time around they come with crisper production and a few heightened gimmicks. Fortunately for them, all the gimmicks work, starting with the title track, "I and love and you", the love-song-by-addition which reflects the popular i-heart-NY t-shirt directed specifically at brooklyn. It's the b..."  [+]  Reply

"Great follow up to, limbo panto. Two dancers, is a slightly more reserved, if that's the right word, but in a good way. I'm probably trying to say that this album is a lot less bonkers than the first one. Still, two dancers, is great with strong cuts in, hooting and howling, and, this is our lot...."  [+]  Reply

"This is a pretty cool album, the first three parts especially. The last two kinda drag on a bit. But part one is awesome and sludgy, and part two has some really fun guitar work a bit reminiscent of Jimi Hendrix. Part three is a pretty cool, and more straightforward song, with vocals. Overall, a ..."  [+]  Reply

"Good album by Beck, it starts off really strong but kinda dips in quality towards the last 5 tracks (the No Complaints through Motorcade run is particularly a step down in quality compared to the tracks before them). Still, it's a solid record and it has one of my favorite songs by Beck (Soldier ..."  [+]  Reply

"I might go as far to say this is my favourite album to listen to ever, but I feel it's not really an album in the sense everything else is, so I'm abstaining it from my chart. If there was one thing The Beatles weren't so good at it was creating a cohesive body of work - even Sgt. Peppers Feels m..."  [+]  Reply
